Detailed Explanation:

✅ Statement 2 – Correct: Sugar industry is a weight-losing industry because sugarcane loses approximately 90% of its weight during processing; raw material (sugarcane) is bulky and perishable, hence mills are located near cane-growing areas.

✅ Statement 3 – Correct: Maharashtra has emerged as the leading sugar producer in India, accounting for ~35-40% of national production, followed by Uttar Pradesh.

❌ Statement 1 – Incorrect: Uttar Pradesh is the second-largest producer of sugar (after Maharashtra), not the largest; it contributes around 20-25% of total production.

Since statements 2 and 3 are correct, the answer is Option 4 (More than one of the above).
